Brest vs Nice Prediction and Betting Tips

The French Ligue 1 returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Stade Brestois and OGC Nice go head-to-head at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Sunday.

With just three points separating the sides in the upper echelons of the table, we anticipate a thrilling contest as both sides look to secure Champions League football.

Stade Brestois turned in a resilient team performance last Sunday when they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Paris Saint-Germain.

Prior to that, Eric Roy’s men were on a six-game winning streak, a run which has seen them reach the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

With 35 points from 19 matches, Brest are currently third in the Ligue 1 table, three points and one place below Sunday’s visitors.

OGC Nice needed a 77th-minute penalty from 22-year-old Evann Guessand to secure a narrow 1-0 victory at home over Metz last Saturday.

This followed a thrilling 3-2 victory over Bordeaux at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux in their Coupe de France round-of-32 clash on January 20.

While Nice will be looking to make it three wins on the trot, they have struggled to get going away from home, where they are on a three-game losing streak in the league.
